Biodiversity.aq is an innovative Antarctic biodiversity information system, giving access to a distributed network of contributing databases, according to the principles of Global Biodiversity Information Facility. It is recognised as an official SCAR product and builds upon SCAR-MarBIN (Scientific Committee on Antarctic Research - Marine Biodiversity Information Network).
The Biodiversity.aq lunch session is an open event, during which progress and strategy will be discussed. The meeting will also be an opportunity to capture feedback and prioritize new needs from the users community.
